THE WEDDING SINGER

The Wedding Singertakes
us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up,
and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. Based
on the hit Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer's sparkling new score does for the '80s what Hairspray did for the '60s. (Watch the movie! So good!)

It's
1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding
singer. He's the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at
the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as
disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his
affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a
Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a
decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. Such a fun show
with great music!!!!

A
horror rock comedy about meek floral assistant Symour Krelborn stumbles
across a new breed of plant he names Audrey II after hir coworker
crush. The foul mouthed singing plant promises unending fame and
fortune as long as he keeps feeding it blood. Rock, Doowop and early
Motown.

It's
the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs,
Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations
and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident
jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing
karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an
upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical that
is being led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat
posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella's alliance might just
open the door for others to shine as well.

The
Portland Public Schools are committed to providing a balanced,
inclusive, and diversified co-curricular program of activities as an
important dimension of student learning. Co-curricular participation
is often a great predictor of an adult’s success. get

our campus. Our offerings currently include: Musical Theater, Drama,
House Band, Math Team, the Gay-Straight-Transgendered Alliance,
Ultimate Frisbee, One Act Play Competition, Yearbook, Model UN,

Team, Peer Tutors, the Tech Team, the Graduation Task Force, the
Student Ambassadors and the School Cabinet. Students may propose
launching a new club or organization if there is sufficient student
interest, and it meets existing criteria. See Mr. Pierce with
questions or for a proposal form.

Co-Curriculars
at Deering and Portland

CBHS
athletes participate in every sport that Portland schools offer, from
football to sailing, from field hockey to cross-country skiing. CBHS
students have the option of participating in the co-curricular
programs of Portland or
Deering High Schools (but not
both). CBHS students declare that either Portland or Deering will be
their school for co-curriculars. Once this designation is made and a
student has begun at CBHS or with PPS sports, it cannot be changed.
CBHS students are also eligible to participate in any co-curricular
activity offered by their declared school – as long as this
offering is not replicated at CBHS. CBHS students must meet the same
eligibility requirements (see below) and undergo the same audition or
tryout process as DHS or PHS students. CBHS students can take a bus
to DHS and PHS after school each day, but they are responsible for
their own transportation home once the activity has concluded.

Co-Curricular
Eligibility

All
students who wish to participate in interscholastic athletics and
activities must adhere to the district eligibility policy. This
means:

Any
other activity determined so by the School Board and Administration.

Students
must be passing the minimum load of classes to be academically
eligible to participate in athletic or co-curricular activities.
Casco
Bay High School students must take and pass five academic classes per
trimester, excluding Crew.
Eligibility and progress will be checked approximately once a month.
When
a grade check occurs while a trimester is still in progress, a
student with a 2+ in a course and a HOW of at least 3 will have this
grade count positively towards his/her eligibility.
A
schedule of check-in dates will be determined annually. A student
must be academically eligible on the first day of the activity in
order to begin participating. For 10th through 12th graders,
eligibility for activities which begin in the fall will be determined
by grades checked the previous June. Students may make up a failed
course by completing an approved summer class. Such courses must be
approved in advance by the Principal.

Academic
Ineligibility Process

a. If
a student is found to be academically ineligible, he/she will be
placed on Academic Probation. The Academic Probation period is 21
calendar days. During this time the student is able to practice and
be part of the team or activity. He/she cannot participate in games,
scrimmages, competitions, tournaments, exhibition games, and/or other
official team/club activities. The student will not be in full
uniform (for athletic teams, with the exception of any required
safety equipment).

b. If
a student continues to be ineligible at the end of the three-week
Academic Probationary period, he/she will be placed on Level 1
Academic Ineligibility for an additional three weeks. During this
time the student cannot participate in any practice, games,
scrimmages, competitions, tournaments, exhibition games, and/or other
team/club activities. The student will not be allowed to travel with
the team/club. The student is required to develop a specific plan to
become academically eligible which includes a minimum of four extra
hours a week and must provide a copy of the plan to the
Athletic/Co-Curricular Administrator.

c. If
a student remains ineligible at the end of the Level 1 Academic
Ineligibility period, he/she will be placed on Level 2 Academic
Ineligibility and be ineligible for the rest of the season or the
duration of the activity.
